Re: LIRR Alcohol Ban: End of the Line for Midnight Drinkers

Why would you think the people who drink on the train and the people who drink before getting on the train are mutually exclusive? The ban on bringing alcohol on the train is to prevent people from getting drunk or drunker on the train. It's a very small move, but it's not like the railroad has any other way of reducing riders' intoxication before boarding, is there?
